English Summary/英文概要： A battered man lies beside a bicycle path. Someone has beaten furniture designer and Green Party city councilor Petri Ilveskivi into an inch of his life. Ilveskivi, a familiar face in the media, known for his sharp tongue, has managed to run afoul of all sorts of people in his private and political lives. Is the assault a result of a personal grudge, or was this a random act of violence? Did the skinheads just get tired of Petri’s open homosexuality?
The Ilveskivi case turns out to be unusually complicated. Drugs, xenophobia, and municipal power politics are all thrown into the cauldron.
In her own life, Maria Kallio is forced to grapple with the question of another addition to her family. Even though everything seems to be going well at home, Maria is still forced to weigh the significance of police work to herself and her family. She also discovers that it isn’t only her own safety that is at risk . . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 自行車道上躺著一個渾身是傷的人。那是一位傢俱設計師。被打得片體鱗傷的還有綠党理事Petri Ilveskivi。此人是媒體上的紅人，以言語鋒利尖刻得名，專門諷刺、玩弄工作和生活中的人。此次遭襲是出於個人怨恨嗎？還是純屬的暴力事件？亦或是Petri公開自己是同性戀，惹毛了憤世嫉俗的青年人？
Ilveskivi的案子的確很複雜。其中包含著毒藥、仇恨、市政權利和嫉妒心都混雜在一起。
除了這個案子，Maria Kallio還要為家裡的事情糾結。為了忘記家裡的事情，她將警局的事情放在第一位。因為，受到威脅的不只是自己還有全家人。(Celia)
